13th Amendment
The Thirteenth Amendment is one of the most important rules known in the world. No one should be forced to be a slave and they shouldn’t be held against their will to work. This Amendment help change and better our world that we live in today.
Thomas Jefferson, John Marshall Harlan , and Abraham Lincoln were involved in the issue addressed by by the proposal. Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers opposed slavery but they never insisted on ending it because they were nervous to speak out on it “Jefferson and other founders who opposed slavery did not insist on abolishing it” They thought that slavery would go away by itself but that wasn’t the case. Abraham
Lincoln was …show more content…
After the Thirteenth Amendment was created, it was a game changer. The people were free;or at least they thought they were. Racism began to be a problem and the people still didn’t accept the African Americans. It also took some time for the confederate states to give up slavery but it eventually came to an end. Now in our present times, the problem is solved and there are no more slaves but the racism still is here but
Castillo 4 it’s at its lowest . An example is the Ku Klux Klan “The Ku Klux Klan is the oldest
American hate group, and while the number of active KKK chapters declined in 2016, members of the Klan are trying to regain ground.” Although they still exist, the slavery section and racism will never go back because our world is a better place and it accepts all races no matter the color.
There have been major cases in which a person’s amendment has been violated.
Situations such as the violations to a person’s amendment lead people to believe if the amendment really is at work. An example is when a man accused prison of violating his
13th Amendment. McGarry, in the $11 million lawsuit, claims he was forced to work …show more content…
There are cases where there is no equality during convictions, “As such, modern-day slavery, by way of criminal conviction, necessarily encourages discrimination and denies a convicted person ‘equal protection of the law". It still encourages discrimination and people seem to be stereotypical when convicting someone and that is a big problem especially during court.
The Thirteenth Amendment is still this very day being used. One way it is used is to prohibit slavery. No one is this world has the right to enslave a person and one will be arrested if so because it is cruelty. Another way it is used today in this world, is to prohibit involuntary servitude. No one is to be forced to work except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted. Prison workers are being put to
Castillo 5 work which makes slavery still legal to an extent, “Slavery is still legal in the United
States, so long as it is pursuant to a criminal conviction and if it is limited to compulsory uncompensated labor—and indeed that is precisely the system America maintains today”.
In reality, slavery is still legal but it’s not used in a terrible way that goes against the
